SHEN works: Hands-on Help for Emotions, Pain and Trauma

SHEN Therapy uses Qi to relax tension, relieve pain and naturally forward a Hero's journey to re-empowerment and recovery.

What is SHEN Therapy®?

 

 

SHEN Physio-Emotional Therapy uses Qi (chi) energy from a therapist's hands to relax and release contractions held in our bodies from our reactions to pain and painful events in our lives.
 
SHEN therapy's non-invasive techniques are based in science. Gentle, refined and precise, SHEN therapy focuses on dissolving reactive somatic contractions without adding additional pain.
 
SHEN therapy has been well tested in such clinical settings as the Chronic Pain Unit of St. Joseph's Hospital in Fort Worth,Texas,  Dallas Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas, the Medical College of Wisconsin Mental Health Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the Shanghai College of Traditional Medicine in China.
 
For close to 30 years, SHEN therapy has proven successful in  facilitating recovery from injury, trauma, grief, abuse and surgery to an astonishing degree.   SHEN  rapidly relaxes tension, reduces stress, relieves physical and emotional pain, and is well received by the highly sensitive.   SHEN Therapy is successfully used either as a stand alone therapy or as a complementary therapy adjunct to other modalities.
 
With SHEN therapy, the effects of physio-emotional pain can safely and finally be cast off.  More and more, one becomes able to be in the "now" and can react intelligently and heartfully to present circumstances, freed from any outdated behavior patterns and habitual reactions of your history. Your health and feeling of well being often increase after just a few sessions.

 

 The Cantonese word shen (calligraphy at left) often is translated as "spirit."  It  refers to a quality of vitality which travels through the nervous system.  

Qi, also spelled 'Chi', and pronounced "chee,"  translates as vital life force.  Qi is a bio-energy that suffuses the tissues and travels through the acupuncture meridians.   Qi is known as ki in Japan, Yesod in kabbalistic tradition, baraka to the Sufis and prana in India. 

In SHEN Therapy (note that each letter is capitalized), the word SHEN is an acronym which stands for "Specific Human Emotional Nexus" and refers to the fact that humans feel emotions universally in precise anatomical areas in their bodies.

 

“If you've been living in fear, when you know the present moment is safe and that there is nothing to fear,
SHEN is for you.

If learning to get into your anger hasn't gotten you out  of it,
SHEN is for you.


If you are told your pain “is all in your head” and/or “you just have to live with it,”
SHEN is for you.


If you can't feel love when you want to,
SHEN is for you.


If you know about the past events in your history that have influenced your current responses to life, and you still haven't been able to let go of them or change to your satisfaction,
SHEN is for you.”

 

SHEN has been called the therapy that changes Post Traumatic Stress to "past" Traumatic Stress.  Receiving SHEN assists one in transforming old physical and emotional wounds into experiential awareness, wisdom and re-empowerment.  SHEN clients report relief from former debilitating thoughts and emotions, heightened insight,  and greater self-esteem, creativity, compassion and well-being.

 

“The big question is whether you are going
to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”
-- Joseph Campbell

 

 

SHEN is not medical treatment, nor psychotherapy or counseling, and is not meant to replace them.  SHEN Therapy may be utilized either as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to other modalities to release debilitating, impactful emotions from the body, allowing one to experience and be governed by the empowering emotions of confidence, well-being, happiness and love.
